State of calamity pormal nang idineklara ni Du30 sa Boracay
PORMAL nang pinirmahan ni Pangulong Duterte ang Proclamation 475 na nagdedeklara ng state of calamity sa Boracay sa harap naman ng pagsisimula ng anim-na-buwang shutdown ng isla.
Sakop ng state of calamity ang mga barangay Balabag, Manoc-manoc at Yapac.
“In this regard, the temporary closure of the island as a tourist destination for six months starting Abril 26, 2018 or until October 25, 2018, is hereby ordered, subject to applicable laws, rules, regulations and jurisprudence,” sabi ni
Duterte sa Proclamation 475 na kanyang pinirmahan Abril 26, 2018.
Idinagdag ni Duterte na base sa isinagawang imbestigasyon ng Inter-Agency Task Force, 14 lamang sa 51 establisimento malapit sa dalampasigan ng Boracay ang sumusunod sa probisyon ng Republic Act 9275 o ang Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004.
“Only four of nine wetlands in Boracay Island remain due to illegal encroachment of structure, including 937 identified illegal structures constructed on forestland and wetlands. as well as 102 illegal structures constructed on aread already classified as easements, and the disappearance of the wetlands, which act as natural catchments, enhances flooding in the area,” ayon pa kay Duterte.
